A glazed door opens into the heart of the home, an expansive open plan living dining kitchen that is beautifully appointed with an array of cabinets and gleaming quartz countertops with a central breakfast island providing a hub to the room for the family. Polished tiled floor runs underfoot and flows through into the dining area where there is space for a large family table.

Leading off the kitchen is a large walk-in utility/pantry room with a matching range of units with an integral dishwasher, space for a fridge freezer plus open pantry style shelving. Dividing the kitchen from the living room are feature oak glazed double doors which can be folded back to connect the rooms to create a large open space for gatherings or be kept closed to create a cosy room centred around its log burning stove flanked by tall picture windows framing the countryside views.

Upstairs on the first floor are three double bedrooms and a principal family bathroom. Oak flooring runs throughout this floor and all of the bedrooms enjoy far reaching panoramic views. The master suite has the benefit of dual aspect windows and views to both sides.
